Like I said before, Gio likely will not have a future with USMNT.


We can't afford to skip him next WC cycle

I get it, that the current actions would not endear him to a new coach. But Mexico played with the same issues and did skip great talent for 2 full WC cycles, to the squad's detriment. We cannot afford to do that going into 2026

I think a new coach could head this up from the beginning and discuss there will be no interaction between parents and coaching staff. That's a laughably necessary request here. But Gio doesn't seem to have issues at Dortmund, so it's not a permanent issue. But he will have to tell his dad to shove off.


What are you referring to? *

I missed this when
@ByDougMcIntyre
reported it last week and I see Sam has it separately confirmed today:

Claudio Reyna "previously tried to influence then-U.S. under-17 national team head coach Raphael Wicky regarding his treatment of Gio at the 2019 U-17 World Cup


Not surprising at all *
